Hanny Homes

Much has been written and said about how to
make home happy. The moralist and tho
preacher have hackneyed this theme until it
would seem nothing moro renamed to be said.
But the philosophers have gone far out of their
way to account for the prevalence of ILL assorted
couples and unhappy homes. and have over
looked the chief cause. Most of the unhappiness
of married life be traced directly to those
functional arrangements to which women are
subject In nine cases out of ten the irritable,
dissatisfied and unhappy wife is sufferer from

written report but made a short address. On
the report of the committee credentials
brisk discussion arose. According to the con-
stitution. each State is allowed two delegates.
but through some misunderstanding there was
an impression in Minnesota that each subordin-
ate alliance entitled to direct representation.
With this understanding, some twenty
delegates from different parts of the State were
in the hall, and claimed seats and the right to
vote The discussion quickly merged into a
stormy quarrel. Finally Gen. T. Fl. Barrett,
president of the Minneapolis Alliance. obtained
the floor, and in dramatic tones and violent Rest-
ures charged those in favor of strict revision
of the list of delegates with trying
to pack the convention and hold a
chamber session. The committee on
dentials resented the insinuatons
and called Mr.. Barrett to order. Secretary
Olson, of Minnesota made emphatic speech
denouncing the action of those who were trying
to pack the convention. Before the matter was
settled. Barrett and Mr.. Smith, an officer of the
national organization, made personal charges
against each other and a split in the convention
was narrowly averted. A resolution amending
the constitution to allow each State
larger representation, finally settled the diff

PRONUNCIATION was given to Lutheranism in
America when Rev. DR.. Henry Melch.or Muh-
